Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Every time I try to access this community, ther's some kind of problem with the server. If you have a look at the status page, it's almost all orange/red. The problem aren't DDoS attack since the server is behind Cloudflare protection. Admin/mods, why don't you move this community to a different ~~server~~ instance? I'm not accusing anybody, I know that maintain a server can be a challenging sometimes, I just want to enjoy this community!

Please!

You're right about my ignorance about Lemmy, I'm a user on this federated ...thing and I know nothing ahout the Lemmy server. Being in a selfhosted community your answer is what I was expecting (maybe with less attack). The API are used only by the federated instance or also by the smartphone apps? For what I see, it seems to be the former, and, if it really is so, the API calls could be allowed only by those server and blocked from everyone else, Cloidflare WAF can do this. I know that the servers are a lot, but it could be possible to insert in the WAF all the IPs of the federated instances. ...or not?
